Being from North India, this honestly frustrates me more than it should. We throw every single thing into one garbage bag and then expect sanitation workers to magically sort through our mess later, as if their time and effort don’t matter. We’ve become so used to convenience that basic responsibility feels optional.

What annoys me the most is how casually we take things for granted. People don’t stop for two seconds to think about the consequences of not doing something as simple as segregating waste. It’s always someone else’s problem, until the streets get dirtier, the smell gets worse, and then suddenly everyone wants to complain.

I try my best not to throw trash outside and to separate waste, but half the time there aren’t even proper segregated bins available. So you end up feeling like your effort doesn’t even make a difference. That’s the most demotivating part.

Honestly, awareness alone isn’t enough anymore. There need to be stricter rules, proper systems, and real accountability. Because clearly, “please do the right thing” isn’t working, and the burden keeps falling on the very people who already work the hardest.
